Identify the poet who has composed the following lines:
“Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves Waited for rain,
while the black clouds Gathered far distant, over Himavant.
The Jungle crouched, humped in silence”.

The correct option is T. S. Eliot.

The quoted lines are taken from T. S. Eliot's famous modernist poem, The Waste Land, which was first published in 1922.

Specifically, these lines appear in the fifth and final section of the poem, titled "What the Thunder Said." The section depicts a sterile, drought-stricken landscape waiting for spiritual and physical rejuvenation. The references to the river "Ganga" (the Ganges) and "Himavant" (the Himalayas) reflect Eliot's interest in Eastern philosophies and Upanishadic texts, which play a central role in the conclusion of the poem.
